This Muharram, I will be hiking Snowdon to raise money for the Ali Asghar Water Appeal.
As a Shia Muslim, Muharram is one of the most significant months of the year. It is a time when we remember the sacrifice of Imam Husayn (AS), his family, and his companions in the tragedy of Karbala. Among them was his six month old son, Ali Asghar (AS), who suffered from extreme thirst in the scorching desert. Despite Imam Husayn's plea for water for his infant son, Ali Asghar was denied even this basic human necessity.
Today, millions of people around the world still struggle to access clean and safe water. Through the Ali Asghar Water Appeal, we have the opportunity to honour the memory of Ali Asghar (AS) by helping provide one of life's most essential needs to those who are suffering from water scarcity.
To support this cause, I will be taking on the challenge of hiking Snowdon. Every step of this journey is dedicated to raising awareness and funds for communities that lack access to clean water.
Your donation, no matter how big or small, can make a real difference. By contributing, you are not only helping provide clean water to those in need, but you are also helping keep alive the values of compassion, generosity, and justice that Imam Husayn (AS) stood for.
Thank you for your support, prayers, and donations. Together, we can turn remembrance into action and help transform lives.
